Same for comment/uncomment. There are hot keys for, but only comment hot 
key works.

- Compile warnings shown first. Must be after all severe errors.

- Same for the "missing body" error, it must be shown last among all errors.

- In a split view, when multiple source file tabs are visible, the 
source file with errors pops in the current tab. This is extremely 
annoying. It must be some other tab.

- Docked debug tabs. They somehow alwyas pop in wrong places, like above 
or right of source file tabs.

I prefer to walk through the list of found items rather than navigate 
using keys. IMO find/replace must be a docked tab with entries for 
search and the list of found items in the same tab instead of a popup 
window + locations tab. There should be no popups at all.
